Props to Kira Buckland. Her tone, when she reads: "I want him... I mean- I'm sorry" tells that 2B was very embarrassed to say her true feelings about 9S to 9S or a total stranger since she represses her feelings all the time before her death and rarely talks about anything unless it's related to a mission. Emotions were always prohibited, but even 2B had some hiccups. :(
+lildark7 The novellas definitely altered some of my perceptions of 2B and 9S. It also really got me thinking about how close they've probably been in the past. After you've finished up the novellas, check out Kyle McCarley's (9S) get together with the voice actors when they read translations of passages from the concert.
Anyone seen the novels description of this part? Even more heartbreaking. He got emotional that she called him Nines but wished he could hear it from her and not a recording :( Here is the excerpt: 9S couldn't move from his spot. "End of message." Even when the pod said this as if to urge him to move, he still couldn’t. "2B…she called me 'Nines'…" He'd wanted to directly hear those words. Not from something like this noise-filled recording, but from the voice of a living 2B, he'd wanted her to call him 'Nines'. 2B is no longer here. 2B no longer exists in this world. That truth stabbed at him. A reminder by none other than 2B's own voice. His line of sight blurred. His vocal chords trembled. Stop thinking about futile things, he thought. What I need to do now isn't this, he told himself. I need to destroy every single machine and kill A2.
Check out the Nier Automata wiki called "The Ark". They have a comprehensive list of novellas, novels, side material, in-game material and so forth -- translated and/or transcribed. I'm thinking this story must be in one of the two novels, Long Story Short or Short Story Long, which are being localized by Viz Media in North America this year and early next. The first book will be published in North America this October. :)
In one of the novellas she pretty much only calls him Nines. When she calls him that in the castle it initially comes across as comedic banter but it was actually a slip up because she had been so accustomed to calling him that. He is always her "Nines" to her even if he can't remember when they've been much closer in the past. She tries to resist getting close to him again, but she never can maintain that for long.
I missed this in game sadly....just as the 2B recording started I just started getting this heavy feeling in my chest, getting teary eye'ed a second after... I just don't even know how I feel anymore...I dont want to their love story is just too cruel....what a cursed cruel fate PS: damn you, mister Yoko Taro for breaking my heart yet again
I wonder how many people have played all the way through A through E and still didn't realize there's a lot more to the relationship between 2B and 9S that occurred within the game. In the in-game dialogue could come across as 2B is just teasing 9S by calling him "Nines" and then taking it back, but in the novellas set prior to the game it's very clear there was quite a bit of meaning behind that nickname and shows they were much closer than initially suggested from what you see in the game. Slowly piecing together the truth made so many things I'd already seen in the game become so much more clear, such as why the stoic 2B instantly falls to pieces emotionally when there is any threat of 9S losing more of his memories over even a short span of time and why she attempts to steer him away from learning more about YoRHa.
Late reply. But it has good ending search "nier automata after event ending E concert". Yoko taro made it a novel. But its in Japanese turn on caption.
At first I thought this was just put in to up the angst. While 2B gradually showed more emotion towards 9S, for the most part, she was fairly aloof and their relationship just felt short to me. It was only until after Route D that it made sense. It's been awhile since I've cried playing a video game.
it was pretty obvious that her aloofness was mostly just an act. I thought it was odd how in the prologue when they first met and 9S got swatted by the goliath 2B lost her shit and her composure instantly cracked - that's not how someone acts towards a person they just met. Thats when i realized that she cared for him and there was more to their relationship.
He actually cried when 2B died even though he it was going to happen :( When the voice actors are good friends and they can't imagine the other being gone
I was wondering like a month where this line, who appeared in trailers, are in the game, i though they just removed from the game. I'm really glady i found this video. (; ᴗ;)
It’s hilarious that the “trailer” that plays if you’re idle in the main menu for too long basically spoils the entire game. More than half of the scenes are from the end. It’s just completely out of context so at the time I guess it’s not actually a spoiler
i remember just casually finding this, right after a huge ass mental breakdown because i got platinum trophy right, in the moment 9s mourns 2B and kind of " plants" the stick with a piece of her cloth i stayed in that cave for 15 minutes just crying in real life, then i got out, and started randomly go around the map for no reason beacuse my mind was completely broke and blank so yeah that's the moment i heard this....i looked at the monitor crying even, tho no tears were coming out 'cuz i had no more left, for i don't even rember how much time, it felt like eternity Yokotaro i hate you for doing this to me but i also love you for doing this to me
On the real tho, this scene made me cry because 2B never admitted it straight to him... she kept it secretly until her end. Never loved androids so much before. I want to hug them all.
when she calls him Nines I just wanted to crawl up into a fetal position and cry forever. God this game was just amazingly heart breaking and awesome. lol never thought i would use that description.
2B wouldn't have had time to write this message when she was dying. That means she probably either recorded it before the battle in case it all went wrong or as a suicide note...
why does 2B look for 9S black box? She is just supposed to kill him so he doesnt uncover the truth from what i understand. Cant they just make another 9S with backup from a few hours ago?
Square Enix and Yoko Taro: please stop this raping of my emotions! The more content I consume from this game and related material the more I want to cry. I need Adam to teach me to be more cold.
i know that but probably both of them were just like that more sensitive and kinda cute but after so much happened to them like 2B always killing that one person and all those things that happened to A2 made both of them change they way they behave
I see. I am still playing route B so that is why i never saw this. God, why does this game have to be so fucking sad, it is breaking my heart. Ending E is supposed to be a cheerful one right ?
@@voidnoidoid poorly written, only in the game though. It was only after I completed ending E and heard about the novellas, concerts and wiki lore did I start to appreciate their characters. The game can be very bare bones with most of its dialogue
@@blazethecat363 sure, if you enjoy it that's fine with me ofc. But fr the Japanese cast are famous voice actors with some pretty insane skill. So if you're familiar with the language there would be no reason to chose English
